"Super comfortable boots, and apparently the military lug sole look is going to be "in" for awhile, according to what I read in the NY Times! I bought these just to have something to run around in that look better than tennis shoes, and they fit the bill nicely for that purpose. They run quite large; I always, always wear size 7 shoes and these are too big. If I had had more time I would've returned them for a 6.5 but I was too impatient for an exchange."
